Problems solved by technology
However, both of these improvements have a detrimental effect on the user, since more effort is required to push the retaining device onto the post, and thus also more effort is required to remove the retaining device
[0005] The second method is that the earrings are hooked through the ears without any more holding devices, relying only on gravity to keep the earrings on the user
The result is inconvenience at best, lost items at worst, and the associated potential emotional and financial losses that follow

Embodiment Construction
[0056] In a first embodiment of the present invention, see figure 1 , 2 , 3, 4 and 5, which show a holding device 10 comprising a main body 12, a first friction member 14 and a second friction member 16. The main body 12, friction member 14 and second friction member 16 are integral and formed from a single piece of sheet metal, such as suitably stainless steel. The friction members 14, 16 are formed by creating two parallel spaced apart vertical slots 26 and a single horizontal slot 28 in the body 12 to form an "H" shape.
[0057] The friction members 14 , 16 are thus connected to the main body 12 at first ends 18 , 20 respectively, which span the distance between the vertical slots 26 . The second ends 22 , 24 of the friction members 14 , 16 , respectively, are free and are formed by a horizontal groove 28 . Slot 28 leads to a post receiving and removal area 38 that is larger than the cross-sectional area of post 36 .
[0058] The friction members 14, 16 are plasticall...

A jewellery retention device for fastening a jewellery item which comprises a retention post, said retention device comprising a body and having an opening configured to receive a post, said retention device comprising a friction member having a first end associated with the body and a second end which is configured to be contacted by the post upon insertion of the post, said body additionally providing an abutment to support the post and provide a reaction to the force imposed on the post by said second end of the friction member, said opening comprising at least in part a receiving region through which the post may move substantially freely and into which the post may be laterally displaced and received from between the first friction member and abutment in a direction substantially perpendicular to the length of the post.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to a holding device for securing an object in position. In particular, but not exclusively, the invention relates to the fastening of jewelry, such as piercings in the ears. Background technique [0002] Typically, jewelry such as piercings, especially pierced earrings, have a straight post or hook that is inserted through a piercing in the earlobe or pinna. The earring is held in place by the back of the earring, or by a clip in the case of a straight earring post, or by gravity in the case of a hook. [0003] In general, current mechanisms for retaining earrings on the wearer fall into three categories. [0004] In the first method, the earring has a straight post, often with a serrated shoulder, that is held in place by an earring retainer, or "back," in which the post is gripped by friction only. The level of friction is usually not high enough to effectively hold the post, as the level of friction cannot be high enough to ...
